When your security system is working right, you stop worrying about what could happen and start focusing on what matters. Your kids can play in the yard without you constantly checking the windows. You can travel for work or vacation without that nagging feeling in your gut.
That's what real security feels like. Not just cameras and alarms, but actual peace of mind that comes from knowing professionals are watching your home 24/7. When something's wrong, you'll know immediately, and help will already be on the way.
Your neighbors in Harrisburg and Manchester are dealing with the same concerns you are. Property crime in Houston happens 61% more often than the Texas average. But with the right security system, you're not just another statistic—you're prepared.
Choose the security solution that fits your needs. All plans include 24/7 professional monitoring and local Houston-area support.

Over 700 local families trust us with their home security, and we've earned recognition as Best of Home Advisor 2019 winners and Angie's List 2018 Super Service award recipients. We're 100% licensed and insured, which matters when you're letting someone wire security equipment into your home.

First, we'll come to your home for a free consultation to understand your specific security needs. No high-pressure sales tactics—just an honest assessment of what would work best for your property and budget.
Next comes professional installation by certified technicians who know how to do the job right the first time. We'll test everything, show you how it works, and make sure you're comfortable with your new system before we leave.
Once you're set up, our monitoring center takes over 24/7. If your alarm goes off, we'll verify the threat and contact emergency services immediately. You'll also get real-time alerts on your phone so you always know what's happening at home, whether you're at work or on vacation.
Plan 1 ($17/month) works if you already have an alarm system but want professional monitoring. We'll inspect your existing equipment, add cellular communication, and provide 24/7 monitoring with no contracts. Perfect for homeowners who want reliable protection without replacing everything.
Plan 2 ($22/month) adds smartphone control to your existing system. You can arm and disarm from anywhere, get real-time alerts, and monitor your home remotely. Still no contracts, still using your current equipment.
Plan 3 ($27/month) is for homeowners who want a complete modern system. You get a 7" touchscreen hub, door sensors, motion detector, glass break sensor, built-in camera, and full mobile app control. The equipment package is $479 one-time, then $27/month for monitoring.
All plans include cellular monitoring (no landline needed), local service and support, and the flexibility to cancel anytime. In Harrisburg and Manchester, where property values are rising and families are putting down roots, having a security system that grows with your needs makes sense.
Professional installation typically runs $139 for existing systems that need activation and cellular communication setup. For new complete systems, installation is included with the equipment package, which starts at $479 for a full touchscreen system with sensors and cameras.
The monthly monitoring costs are straightforward: $17 for basic monitoring of existing systems, $22 for app-controlled monitoring, or $27 for complete modern systems with smart features. There are no hidden fees, no long-term contracts, and no surprise price increases after the first year.
Most Houston families find the peace of mind worth the investment, especially considering that property crime in the area happens 61% more frequently than the state average. When you factor in potential losses from burglary against the cost of prevention, professional security systems pay for themselves.
Not necessarily. If your current system is in working condition, we can often activate it with professional monitoring for just $17 per month. We'll perform a system inspection to make sure everything functions properly, add cellular communication so you don't need a landline, and connect it to our 24/7 monitoring center.
This approach saves you money on equipment while still giving you professional-grade protection. You get the same emergency response and monitoring services as customers with brand-new systems, just using your existing sensors and control panel.
However, if your system is outdated, has frequent false alarms, or lacks important features like smartphone control, upgrading might make more sense. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment during the free consultation and explain your options without pushing you toward the most expensive choice.
When your alarm triggers, our monitoring center receives the signal immediately and begins verification procedures. We'll first attempt to contact you using your primary and backup phone numbers to confirm whether it's a real emergency or false alarm.
If we can't reach you, or if you confirm there's a problem, we'll contact the appropriate emergency services—police for break-ins, fire department for fire alarms, or medical services if you have a medical alert feature. We stay on the line with emergency responders to provide your address, alarm details, and any special instructions you've provided.
You'll also receive real-time notifications on your smartphone (if you have app control), so you know what's happening even if you're not home. The entire process typically takes less than 60 seconds from alarm activation to emergency dispatch, which can make a critical difference in protecting your property and family.
Yes, with the $22 or $27 monthly plans, you get full smartphone control through a dedicated mobile app. You can arm and disarm your system from anywhere, check the status of individual sensors, and receive instant alerts when doors open, motion is detected, or alarms trigger.
The app also lets you view live camera feeds if you have security cameras installed, control smart locks, and even adjust lighting schedules to make your home look occupied while you're away. Everything is encrypted and secure, so only you have access to your system.
This remote access is particularly valuable for families in Harrisburg and Manchester who travel frequently for work or have children who come home from school before parents get off work. You can verify your kids arrived safely, let in service providers remotely, or check on your home during lunch breaks without driving across town.
For existing system activation and monitoring setup, most installations can be completed within a few days of your consultation. The process involves inspecting your current equipment, installing cellular communication hardware, and testing all components with the monitoring center.
New complete system installations typically take 1-2 weeks from consultation to activation, depending on the complexity of your setup and current scheduling. Most residential installations are completed in a single day, with technicians arriving on time and cleaning up completely when they're finished.
Emergency installations can sometimes be arranged for urgent situations, such as after a break-in attempt or when moving into a new home quickly. We prioritize local customers and understand that security concerns can't always wait for convenient scheduling. Our technicians are based in the Houston area, so response times are faster than companies that dispatch from other cities.
The biggest difference is that we're actually local—family-owned and based in Humble, Texas, not a call center in another state. When you call for service, you're talking to people who live in your area and understand local security challenges. Our technicians often arrive within an hour for emergency calls, even when there's no immediate danger.
We've been serving Harris County families for over 15 years and have built our reputation on honest recommendations rather than high-pressure sales tactics. We won't try to sell you equipment you don't need, and we'll work with your existing system if it makes financial sense.
Our award-winning customer service (Best of Home Advisor 2019, Angie's List 2018 Super Service Award) comes from treating customers like neighbors rather than account numbers. Over 700 local families trust us with their security, and we maintain those relationships through reliable service, fair pricing, and genuine care for our community's safety.
